Good morning night owo ((HUGS))

I really don’t like hearing how bad the weather is in Texas...cause it means it’ll be heading out way. And I have been enjoying the mild winter over here.
Now, tell me it’s warming up! LOL

[beachn4fun]

Good morning Meg ((HUGS))

Love the Santa and flag.

As I told Luvy, I don’t like hearing how cold it is out that way...it means that we’ll be getting it soon. And I’m enjoying the mild winter (although we still have Jan and Feb to get through).

All ready for Christmas?

[MEG33]

Thank you, beachy.
It’s a shock after our warm spell!
*HUGS*

[MEG33]

The wind is making it frigid..I am glad I went out yesterday and covered the faucet, filled the feeder, scrubbed the birdbath saucers.
*HUGS*

[MEG33]

Missed the Poetry Competition win..Congratulations!
I fondly recall the ongoing story you, MsB and Star entertained us with, too.

[Arrowhead1952]

Just got back from our walk which was much shorter than the normal 2.5 mile walk. Pretty nippy coming back into the wind.

[MEG33]

Nippy for sure!

Good morning, Army Bro!

I thought Army played very well - I was sweating bullets up to the very end. They fought with grace and skill and I'm sure their day will come again.

MAY ALMIGHTY GOD UPHOLD AND DEFEND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!



This Nation is dearer to me than my own life.
I fought for it willingly and proudly, as my ancestors have done since the American Revolution, and as members of my family continue to do to this very day.



Memorial to Battery "C", 5th U.S. Artillery at Gettysburg, PA
My 3-greats grandfather, Cpl. William Murphy,
was wounded by shrapnel at the Clump of Trees
in Pickett’s Charge, July 3, 1863.

In the Second World War my Father, who enlisted in the Navy on his eighteenth birthday, and a veritable squad of my Uncles and Great Uncles served in the Army, The Army Air Force, and the Navy, both in the American Theatre and in Europe.

My Father was called up from the Reserves for the Korean War and served on board the USS Borie, DD-704 in the combat zone. He was commissioned in 1951 and remained in the Navy until his retirement in 1969.

In my youth, I spilled my blood for it on the Field of Battle, in a far-off land, in a war that was scorned by many of my contemporaries, a war in which we were victorious in every major engagement on the field, and a war in which we were betrayed by a coterie of spineless politicos, by The Fifth Column that masquerades as the media, by Academia, and by the Hollywood elite.

I was joined in that cause by my Father, who had boots on the ground in-country on several occasions in the early 60’s. I was likewise joined by several cousins in the Navy, Army, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.



In my old age, the jackals gather again, seeking once more to steal a victory won by another generation of Americans, seeking to change our Nation into a Socialist State in which we are all tools of the collective rather than free men and women, a State in which we will be little more than subjects rather than free and proud citizens. They seek by every artifice, scheme and fraud known to man to undo the American Revolution.



Though I am old and weak, I would willingly fight for our Beloved Nation once again, and, if necessary, give my life for it if doing so would advance the cause of Liberty.

I say this without boast or apology – I am no better or worse than the millions of American men and women who have answered the Nation’s call, and I am no hero. I am simply one of millions of Americans who did his or her duty when called upon by the Nation to do so. Many of my Comrades-in-Arms join in posting on this Forum.



We have sustained a grievous wound in this Election, the consequences of which are already painfully apparent.

Now is not the time for despair; it is not the time for surrender. Now is the time to reaffirm our core values: individual liberty, self-reliance and personal responsibility, sanctity of human life, Love of God and Country and Courage in the face of great Peril!

Many now advocate secession from the Union. Secession is not the answer, even if it could be accomplished. This is MY Country – Here I am and here I stay! I am not willing to abandon it to the Leftist traitors now in power or to any other enemies, domestic or foreign.

"Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre,
Mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað. "

"Will shall be the sterner, heart the keener,
Spirit shall be the greater as our might lessens."

(Battle of Maldon – lines 313-314)

KNOW THIS: I will not sit idly by while Marxists, atheists, perverts and traitors work relentlessly to sabotage the heroic efforts and sacrifices of over two centuries of Patriots, to rip away our basic Freedoms, and to bring this great Nation to its knees.

May God continue to Bless and Protect the United States of America – A Beacon of Freedom shining through the darkness of a World beset by Tyranny!

May God Bless and Protect our Gallant Troops of all Services – men and women - combat and non-combat – of whatever MOS. By virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to enjoy the benefits of Freedom!

With the help of Almighty God, may the Right and our Beloved Nation prevail!

Good Monday afternoon, beachy...((HUGS))
We got about 5+ inches of snow over the weekend. Everything is white and all the trees are flocked. My tree lights aren't working either. Gotta fix that.

Have a good rest of the day.

[luvie]

Howdy, early bird! It is warming up a bit but not much. :) Sorry.....

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning/afternoon, Arrowhead...((HUGS))

It has warmed up to the mid 20s and they say a little snow for the next days. Fog earlier, but lifted at my office area.

You and Murfie stay warm.

[Arrowhead1952]

Good afternoon and (((HUGS))). The wind here is awful today.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

Good! I look forward to the next two stories about these heroes.

[Lady Jag]

Pats are playing the Texans tonight at Gillette Stadium in Norword MA.

Southeast MA was 68º this afternoon and is still 66º here slightly southeast of Gillette. It's still drizzling, too.

GO PATS!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Good Eventide to thee and they Lady wife, Sir Knight!
((((((((HUG)))))))))
Many thanks for including us on thy wonderful journey!
Congratulations on winning the poetry prize!
Didst thou receive a prize from his Lordship?
I had no doubt that you had won it, after having had the honor of writing with thee before!

[luvie]

Go Texans! ~~ducking~~

[trisham]

This is going to be a real white-knuckle game. Go Pats!

[Lady Jag]

Nope. You have as much reason to root for your team as I do in hoping you're wrong.

[Lady Jag]

Not watching the game but last time I checked it was 14-zip Pats. Knuckles looking good.
